David IX of Georgia

David IX (died 1360), son of George V the Brilliant, ruled Georgia from 1346 until his death. The Black Death struck in 1348, and his reign brought heavy foreign pressure: he lost the Laz lands to Trebizond and in 1349–1350 paid the Ilkhan Anushirwan four hundred thousand dinars a year.

He repaired the walls of Tmogvi in 1350 and restored church lands seized under Mongol rule. By his queen Sindukhtar he fathered Bagrat V. He died in 1360 and was buried at Gelati.
